Plot:
Oliver is longing for a nice run and after his accident with some trucks, the Fat Controller put him on the mail run. However, Oliver was late due to Harold having trouble and a lazy signalman. Oliver ran down an old branch line and crashed into a shed. Oliver was found and so was some old homes. 

PRO:
- N/A

CON:
- Since when Oliver became a shunter? He should be working on 'The Little Western'.
- Toad not used as his brake van during the mail run. 
- Their is no explanation of the two old homes, the station and the shed that the Fat Controller and Oliver found. 

This is just a bad episode, since when did Oliver become a shunter? He should be running 'The Little Western' with Duck. Plus, there was no explanation about the branch line? Did something happen their, those two homes? What are they, the Fat Controller's childhood home? The writing is OK, but how the way they treated Oliver is not OK.
